UNWINDING

Myofascial Unwinding is the missing link in your capacity to heal. It is the skill you’ve always had but were taught not to trust or use

We’ve all done it; reached and stretched and twisted, yawned vigorously, clenched and compressed some muscles while elongating through others. These pandiculations are easily observed in animals, young children, and babies. However as adult human beings, we are in the unique situation where our socialization and domestication (often starting around school age) has taught us to rely on the intellect over the intuition. These natural self corrective movements, if done at all, are relegated to those brief seconds immediately upon waking before the grind sets in and we are focussed on the tasks at hand and what happens next rather than enjoying and being in the present moment.

But the key to healing is FEELING. When you explore curiously, the sensations of gravity on your body, the boundaries of your range of motion, and the subtleties of a slight twist or shift as you feel into tension, you open the door to stretching three dimensionally in a way that far exceeds the effectiveness of specific stretching movements many thousands of times over.

Watch this video to take your first steps into feeling your whole body and its position in gravity and space in a brand new way. For every trauma tells a story in and around the tissues of the body that is awaiting an opportunity to be reconciled with and expressed.
